announce his latest project, KDE
Worldwide, to the world. KDE Worldwide wants to promote KDE
internationally by providing information and to assist those
interested in the localised and translated versions of KDE. A worldwide developer map is currently in the
making -- if you are a contributor/developer, please help complete it by submitting your
coordinates. There's a set of relevant links and those of you
interested in this project can join the mailing list. In
particular, Chris is looking to host more international content, including material such as any language tutorials, articles,
screenshots, and content that could help enhance the international
community's appreciation and experience of KDE.

Wow, although I'm aware that code speaks more than words, this seems a bit fishy.

The anonymous cowards should be removed from the map, since they are most likely users just putting themselves on the map for kicks.

The real developers would not have any qualms about putting their real name (or at least their irc nick) up on the map.

More specifically, if anonymous cowards are allowed, it's more likely that the map will just reflect people that pass through the site to take a look - and since it's a developer map, they shouldn't be there.

A slight error in the database (a tab delimtted text file) meant that certain entries didn't have all the necessary fields (probablly caused when I cut and pasted the details from the e-mail). It was interpreting this as meaning that the user wanted to be anonymous. This is fixed now. Thanks for pointing out.
